Hi TS,

I would like to add a link off the Home Page Screen, as a block, saying "Chat with  a Colleague" and then link it to the Chat function (rather than them necessarily having to go and find the Chat Icon up the top........How do I find the link to the Chat page so I can insert it? Any thoughts on if this is a good/bad idea??:)

Regards
Stephen

Hi Stephen,

It's an interesting idea. As you might have noticed, the chat doesn't have a separate page, so it's not just about adding a link somewhere. What current chat icon does is it uses Javascript to display a chat window div-element.

I think it is a good improvement to be added to the system. I will put a ticket for it for us to have a look at at some point and will keep you informed if we have updates on it.
